Twitter’s Shadow Banning By Charles Taylor (Florida)

Yet more revealing material from Elon Musk’s Twitter dumps, more points for the conspiracy theorists being right about almost everything. Musk confirmed that political candidates were subjected to shadow banning. Now the important question here is if that was so, then it is a clear case of illegal electoral interference, and those who did it should be prosecuted. Of course, little chance of that in a society corrupted by the Democrat’s abuse of the rule of law, but it is still of philosophical interest.

“Following the release of the second part of the “Twitter Files,” which revealed the social media giant put users on secret blacklists and used other shadow banning tools, Musk was asked by political commentator Ian Miles Cheong if political candidates were also subject to such censorship.

“So here’s a question for @elonmusk and @bariweiss: were any political candidates — either in the US or elsewhere — subject to shadowbanning while they were running for office or seeking re-election?' Cheong asked in a tweet, tagging both Musk and journalist Bari Weiss.

Yes,” Musk replied, confirming that Twitter has, as many have alleged, put its finger on the scale of conversations that were of importance to public interest, including in the context of elections.”
